Box lunch features gen ed task force report Members of the Gen Ed Task Force have been at work for more than a year now. They’ve met with two outside experts, consulted with faculty in more than 20 departments, heard proposals for new program features from faculty and students across UND, invited feedback on possible features and goals during previous “On Teaching” sessions, and conducted more than a dozen research projects to learn more about gen ed options and outcomes at UND and across the nation. Based on that work, task force members have come to agreement about key features that might be included within a new gen ed program at UND, and they want to tell you about their ideas and hear what you think. Please join us for a box lunch at 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, oct. 31, in the Memorial Room of the Union to learn about and discuss the report. A near-final proposal will be developed by January and forwarded to the provost and, eventually, University Senate – so this is the time to get involved. Please take advantage of this opportunity to learn more about what a new gen ed program at UND might look like. And please come to provide feedback on these ideas! No program is more important to UND than general education. Be part of the conversation. To sign up to attend: Please call or e-mail Jana Hollands (7-4998) or by noon Friday, October 27, to attend this lunch session. -- Libby Rankin, Director, Office of Instructional Development, libby_rankin@und.nodak.edu, 777-4233
